Despite the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge last March, the Port of Baltimore reported its second-best year ever in 2024. But as expectations for 2025 waver, Sue Monaghan is trying to keep calm and carry on.

Ship traffic is back to about 90% of where it was prior to the bridge collapse.

About a hundred striking longshoremen marched by one of the terminals in the port of Baltimore. Some carried signs that say “machines don’t feed families.”

Automation at U.S. ports on the East and Gulf Coasts tends to lag behind that at the West Coast, Asian and European ports.

Careers at the port range from environmentalist to tug boat captain to welder. But people have to know they exist in order to apply to do them.

The owner of a Baltimore warehouse and shipping company describes how the port’s closure and reopening has affected business.

Their work includes tying ships to the shore, unloading containers and vehicles and keeping track of everything that comes off.

Eight cargo ships have been stuck in the Port of Baltimore for weeks. Now, several are on their way — and back to business.

Tradepoint Atlantic, southeast of the collapsed Francis Scott Key bridge, is the only terminal accepting cargo ships. And it’s expanding.

More than 15,000 people work directly at the port, and more than 140,000 additional jobs are connected to it.
